Rumours was remastered and re-issued in 2004 as a 2CD set that included outtakes and demos. Amazon confirms the disc out outtakes is that exact disc, so essentially they re-remastered the 2004 release, added a Vinyl and the Rosebud film along with a live disc.

^^ The 2004 demos and outtakes are here in the Deluxe edition PLUS a second disc of outtakes a demos (disc 3) this has never been released PLUS the Live recordings (never released) PLUS the Rosebud doc. (Never released). Even the 3 disc version is new. Aside from Rumours you get the never before released outtakes disc PLUS the Live CD.

Preordered the big box set today and need to go back and change to overnight shipping. 83 bucks is a great price i think.

I wish someone musically literate could tell the band to look at the incredible australia 77 rhiannon i saw for the first time today, and to listen to the 79 rhiannons-- no, i don't expect the rough vocal, but the ''fast'' part near the end NEEDS the fast repetition of 'dreams unwind, loves a state of mind no' , or, 'did you dreams unwind, is that what you want' or any variation of what was done mostly in 79 and not since. Very rock and roll. LOSE the now flat and too-many 'all the same, all the same, rhiannon, all the same' that her voice doesnt have the edge anymore for it not to sound lazy and flat. She needs the ''more words'' of the 'unwind' at the finale, as she can still sing well now with an edge 'on the beat'- IF she has the rhyming extra words, so the ''fast'' repitition of the 'unwinds' would sound WAY rockier than the 'all the same' in the low key that has made 'rhiannon' sound dead on stage since 1997.

So, anyone who knows what i badly explained that can state it well to the band, it will make Rhiannon come alive again. And w technically right words, leave out what sounds insulting- I just want to help, don't want to insult SN but Rhiannon needs a vocal facelift before the tour. Can't wait to get the boxset.

What could possibly be insulting about thinking the song has been sung in a flat monotone that has made the welsh witch sound dead for 15 years? You're spending on the big box, they won't care, and probably won't change the arrangement. Me, I'm tired of 'The Nutcracker'-esque introduction to the song- just Lindsey's guitar, no airy fairy intro needed.

"Unwind, state of mind, hard to find" -would all work better, though. True.Is that what you want?

Stevie is way too old to do the old theatrics that came along with early "rhihannon" and "sisters of the moon" performances. Even though she is still quite capable of a fantastic vocal performance, the fire has been dimmed considerably in her live performances, which is understandable given her age.

Look at how much energy Mick Jagger has and he is 69. If he can still do it, Stevie can too. They need to bring back the guitar solo during Rhiannon!!! Stevie should move around more, shes not that old yet. I think she could perform Rhiannon like she did on the Mirage Tour

considering the touring that Fleetwood mac did for the release of the 'Rumours' album, I think it would have been better to release not just the 'Rosebud' dvd but maybe a full concert of the 'Rumours' tour...not just clips,it would have been a better decision for two dvd's. What a waste to re-release what most fans already have. It would be great if Stevie released some of the demos she has locked away plus any concerts from the 1980's.....wishful thinking !

You only get the 2004 demo cd if you buy the delux version that includes the vinyl. That delux set includes the new disc of demos + the 2004 disc. if you buy the 3 cd version the outtakes or demo disc is the newly released demo disc not the 2004 version.

FLEETWOOD MAC NEWS ON FACEBOOK

In April, 2013 New York Times Author Anthony Bozza began working with legendary drummer Mick Fleetwood on his life story, which will span the entire history of the band that bears his name.

In this candid, intimate portrait of a life lived in music, Mick Fleetwood sheds new light on well-known points in his history, including many incredible moments of recording and touring with Fleetwood Mac, as well as personal insights from a man who has been a major player in blues and rock 'n' roll since his teens.

Finally, the group's admirers will have a unique portrait of what made Mick and the rest of the group tick in the midst of their massive success and personal trials.

Stevie Nicks made history in March when the beloved singer-songwriter became the first female artist inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice - first as a member of Fleetwood Mac in 1998, and this year for an extraordinary solo career that spans nearly 40 years.

To honor Nicks' groundbreaking achievement, Rhino has assembled a variety of new releases that celebrate her solo career with essential recordings chosen from studio albums, live performances, and soundtrack contributions, plus several of her most-celebrated collaborations with artists including Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Don Henley, Lana Del Rey, and Lady Antebellum.

“Most of these songs were written between 1969 and 1987. One was written in 1994 and one in 1995. I included them because they seemed to belong to this special group. Each song is a lifetime. Each song has a soul. Each song has a purpose. Each song is a love story… They represent my life behind the scenes, the secrets, the broken hearts, the broken hearted and the survivors. These songs are the memories - the 24 karat gold rings in the blue box. These songs are for you,” commented Nicks.
